Haul: Cotton On Ruffle Socks

I've been looking for some ruffle socks for ages. It's been especially hard going because a lot of times the people who make these kinds of socks don't make them in my size anymore, or the ruffley bits of the sock just end up looking a little bit too tacky for anyone over the age of, say, 5, to pull off. This pained me no end because I really wanted to recreate the ruffly-socks-and-heels look that is a little bit vintage, a little bit girly, and every bit awesome.

So imagine my delight when I found a whole rack of them in Cotton On Body no less, at 3 pairs for S$10! Naturally I got them in three colourways:







Pretty, no? Love their vintage styling ^~^ I fully intend to wear them like this:

  1. Ohhh they're really cute! I also wondered about ruffle-edged socks, since they look so kawaii and pretty (and on trend) with open toed, and other heels! :D I hope you'll take photos of you rocking them? :D
